TRICK-OR-TREATING

It’s a rainy Friday, but what does it mean for our Halloween forecast on Sunday evening?

Forget the usual approach of putting all the candy in one bowl and handing it out at your door. Make individual bags of candy the trick-or-treaters can grab easily from a disinfected table set up near your sidewalk. Everyone should wear a fabric mask with at least two layers -- a Halloween mask doesn’t count! Once you get the candy home, consider switching it out with some candy from the store. You can also quarantine the candy you collected for a few days to reduce the risk from touching the wrappers.

You may be shying away from Trick-Or-Treating this year because of the pandemic but kids can still have lots of fun at home. Kerry Doman from Little Guide Detroit showed us some cool Halloween crafts that the whole family can enjoy. She also suggested coloring Halloween masks for a personalized touch on your costume. If you’re still trying to decorate the house, it’s a good time to put those toilet paper and paper towel rolls to use. Watch the video to see more Halloween craft ideas!

DETROIT – With COVID-19 numbers on the rise and Halloween right around the corner, the Detroit Health Department is urging everyone to take caution the All Hallows' Eve. We’ve had to deal with a lot of changes this year and Halloween will be no different. Detroit mayor Mike Duggan is working to make sure there’s still a whole lot of fun in the city. Unlike some areas of Metro Detroit, the Detroit Health Department and Duggan are not taking away Halloween. However, with cases on the rise, it’s crucial to keep Halloween safe this year.
